Camilla Noli: WebSpace

A few photographs from my photo album.

I’ll be putting more up on a reasonably regular basis.

I enjoy photography and to the right are some of the beautiful photos which I have taken over the years. These are free to download, provided I am acknowledged as the author.

The launch of Still Waters at Shearer's Bookshop

On a lovely Wednesday night, the 2nd of April, about 80 friends, family and booklovers came together at Shearer's bookshop in Leichhardt. It was an amazing evening - it was wonderful to see how many people turned up to help launch Still Waters.

Below are some photos of the evening.

Dinner with the Independent Booksellers

On the 26th of March, I had the pleasure of meeting some owners of the largest and best independent bookstores in Australia. It was a wonderful night and I am indebted to Hachette for organising the evening.

Unfortunately, Scott Whitmont of the Lindfield Bookshop was unable to make the night, but I was very pleased to see:

A grab-bag of photos

Below are a mixture of photos I felt like putting up on the site. They mean something to me and hopefully to the others in the photographs.

supposed to sit at my feet while I write... ...but who prefers to lie in the sun
